Hemis & Himalayan Kitchens
Ladakh's masked-dance festival, at 11,000 feet.
The route
Acclimatized properly, then the Hemis Monastery's masked Cham dance, Nubra's high-altitude villages, and a night by Pangong Lake.
Day by day
Leh — acclimatization
A deliberately slow start to acclimatize to the altitude, with monastery visits and an introduction to Ladakhi staples like butter tea and thukpa.
Hemis Festival
The Hemis Monastery's masked Cham dance — one of Ladakh's most significant Buddhist festivals — with a cultural briefing beforehand.
Nubra Valley
Double-humped Bactrian camels on the sand dunes, apricot orchards, and high-altitude village life.
Pangong Lake
A night by the lake itself, with the kind of remote Ladakhi hospitality you can't book from a hotel website.
Return to Leh, send-off
A final day to acclimatize back down before your flight, with packing help and an airport drop.
What's included
- Altitude-aware pacing (2-day acclimatization built in, not skipped)
